How do I manually release a DHCP lease on the DHCP server itself?

Solution 1:

Apparently there is no such elegant method to accomplish the job.

So, let's do it manually.

  • Stop dhcp server.
  • Check your /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases file and check for the entry. It contains the list of all dhcp leases.
  • Remove the entry carefully and start the dhcp server again.
